OPERA AND CLASSICAL MUSIC

The Franz Liszt Academy of Music is where one can listen to the Budapest Philharmonic for little or no money. It is really great value. Music concerts are usually playing at the Vigado Concert Hall, even though the acoustics should be a lot better than they are. Sometimes the concerts can be held at the Domed Hall of Parliament, which has excellent acoustics and one can hear Bach Organ music played superbly in the delightful Castle’s Matthias Church, or even at the Basilica on the Pest side.

Opera can be heard at the State Opera house on the splendid Andrassy ut, usually the opera is in Italian with Hungarian sub titles.

Also at the 3000 seater Erkel Theatre on Koztarsasag ter, near the Keleti station there one can find an opera performance. This theatre would concentrate more on its own Hungarian operas. The Operatta theatre on Nagymezo utca also would have Hungarian operettas staged here. To get your hands on these sought after tickets, one can check the Central booking office on Vorosmarty Square to find out the price and whether there’s any tickets left. Opera is very popular here in the city.
